Root resection Warsaw
Root resection is a microsurgical procedure that aims to save a tooth when standard root canal treatment has not been successful. Instead of removing the entire tooth, the doctor focuses on the source of the problem, i.e. the apex of the root and the inflammation that persists in the area.
At Supradent, we view resection as a viable alternative to extraction. It is a precise procedure that preserves the natural tooth and its function for years to come. The procedure is planned carefully and performed in complete comfort, using modern diagnostics and magnification....
Resection
When is root resection the best option?
Resection is usually performed when chronic inflammation persists in the root apex area and root canal re-treatment is not possible or unsuccessful. This may apply to teeth with difficult canal anatomy, the presence of root-canal posts or lesions that cannot be removed from the crown side.
During the procedure, the surgeon removes a section of the root tip together with the surrounding inflamed tissue. The canal is then sealed from the apex to eliminate the cause of the discomfort and create the conditions for proper healing.
For the patient, this means the chance to keep their own tooth without having to remove it and then implant it. In many cases, resection avoids more extensive treatment and gives very good long-term results.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What exactly does a root resection involve?
The procedure involves surgical access to the apex of the tooth root. The doctor removes a small section of it along with the inflammatory lesion and then secures the canal from the apex. This eliminates the source of infection that previously caused pain or recurrent inflammation.
Does a root resection hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so the patient does not feel any pain. After the anaesthesia has worn off, slight tenderness or swelling may occur, which usually disappears within a few days.
How long does it take to heal after resection?
The first stages of healing take a few days, while the process of bone regeneration in the apex area can take several months. During this time, we control the effect of the treatment and monitor the healing process.
Can every tooth be resected?
Not always. The final decision depends on the structure of the tooth, its stability and the size of the inflammatory lesion. That is why we perform a thorough radiological diagnosis before treatment and discuss all possible treatment options.
Is the tooth fully functional after resection?
Yes. If the procedure is successful, the tooth can participate normally in chewing and requires no additional restrictions. For the patient, this means a return to comfort without pain or inflammation.
What if the resection fails?
In rare cases where the lesion does not heal, other solutions such as extraction are considered. However, a correctly planned and performed resection has a very high success rate.

Root resection at Supradent Warsaw
Tooth root resection at Supradent Warsaw is performed using modern microsurgical techniques and accurate diagnostic imaging. We analyse each case individually to assess whether the procedure has a realistic chance of success and will keep the tooth in good condition for years to come.
We work under magnification, which enables precise removal of the inflammatory lesion and tight closure of the canal from the apex. As a result, the risk of recurrence of the problem is significantly reduced and the healing process is smooth and safe.
If you are struggling with recurrent inflammation or tooth pain after root canal treatment, a root resection may be the best solution. Make an appointment for a consultation and see if it is possible to save your natural tooth in your case.
